Indigenous Media

Abstract

It is critical for Indigenous peoples to gain access and opportunity to be represented in, produce and participate in the production of messages that tell stories from an inside perspective for the ability to express and form identities, cultural citizenship and exert influence over decisions that concern them. Media is here often decisive. Recently, access to communication have been eased by the increasing number of digital media, allowing for alternative ways of gaining and distributing information, or mobilizing for action. This panel calls for papers that document and study indigenous media institutions and practices, indigenous journalism, as well as the representation and production of journalism and other communications within indigenous media.
